Silicon Valley Reads
Silicon Valley Reads is a community engagement program that features books and an annual theme to bring people together by providing more than 150 free, public events each year in February and March. Events for all ages include author talks, book clubs, art/music events, community activities, arts and crafts, movies, and creative events or activities based on the theme each year.
Silicon Valley Reads is hard at work on our next season which will be January - March, 2025. We will be announcing our theme and books on this site shortly!
Silicon Valley Reads completed it's 21st season (February through March, 2024), which focused on a renewed commitment to foster collaboration and create awareness around the importance of sustainability. The theme for 2024 was "A Greener Tomorrow Starts Today". We committed to fostering meaningful conversations and offering practical ideas for individuals to take action towards sustainability.
If you missed our programming, some of our events were recorded including our kickoff, children's author visits and more. You can view our videos below. Our kickoff included the authors of One Green Thing, Heather White and The Light Pirate, Lily Brooks-Dalton along with contributors to All We Can Save: Alexandria Villasenor and Favianna Rodriguez. Damian Trujillo from NBC news moderates the conversation.
